Seriously? OMG! WTF?

NBC

NBC added Reba McEntire to their scripted lineup this season. And as much as I love Reba and Happy’s Place, it is not the new show everyone has been waiting for. That show is Suits: LA, a spinoff from the USA legal drama.

Today, the Peacock screamed out a premiere date, and what their winter schedule is going to look like.

NBC announced today that they gave series orders to Suits: L.A. and Gross Pointe Garden Society.

The Suits spinoff is about Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. His firm is at a crisis point and to survive he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career. Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives.

Gross Pointe Garden Party tells the story of four members of a suburban garden club, all from different walks of life, get caught up in murder and mischief as they struggle to make their conventional lives bloom.

Night Court is going into its third season on NBC in the Fall, but it will be missing another actor from the credits.

Kapil Talwalkar, who played the clerk, left ahead of the second season, and he was replaced by Nyambi Nyambi.

Now, we are hearing another lead is leaving the sitcom. India de Beaufort, who played Olivia Moore, the Assistant District Attorney who wants out of working night court, will get her wish.

“For the last two years I have had the immense privilege of driving onto the WB lot and walking onto a stage filled with the most hard working, loving and talented cast and crew that comedy has to offer. Today they received a season three pick up. Knowing and loving them as I do, I am beyond overjoyed for the most deserving people I know. I will miss the honor of being in their brilliant company, but my god. That was fun,” the actress recently wrote on social media. “My time at Night Court has come to an end. I greatly thank NBC, WB, After January Productions and our Writers / Producers / Directors / Cast and Crew for two incredible years. My favorite thing about this business is how often old friends appear in new places; that’ll be a day I look forward to greatly. Much love, India”

It is unclear if it was her decision to depart from the sequel, but I wish her the best.

Sadly, the person who needs to leave the show to make it better will not be leaving because the show is based around them. And it is not the brilliant John Laroquette.

NBC is saving the fate of the comedies for last, and today, they picked up one of their three sitcoms.

Deadline says Night Court’s sequel, which stars John Laroquette and Melissa Rauch, was renewed for an 18-episode third season.

Still waiting to find out if they will be on the 2024-2025 schedule are EXtended Family and Lopez vs Lopez.
